Mammoth Overland’s ultra-rugged TL travel trailer has an insane amount of space

Over-specced, overbuilt, and spacious enough to sleep a family of four comfortably with room to spare.

Teardrop trailers have certainly come a long way in the last century, and especially in the last decade. The best off-road-ready models boast ultra-rugged designs built to tackle almost any terrain. The downside, however, is that their compact size means you’ll need to sacrifice interior living space, and sometimes, that’s just not a concession you’re willing to make. Enter Mammoth Overland’s all-new TL overland trailer, a beast of a travel trailer that’s Apocalypse-ready and roomy enough to sleep four adults.

On the outside, the TL overland trailer feels like a curious hybrid of a teardrop trailer and a compact yet rugged travel trailer. It is indeed both, and yet neither. Stepping inside, it’s easy to understand the TL (or “Tall Boy”) moniker. The tall interior provides 6’3″ of headroom and is plenty roomy for even your tallest friends to stand up comfortably. The floor plan is equally spacious, with room for a king-sized bed plus a modular couch that easily converts to a bed. Combined, there’s room for four adults to sleep comfortably or a family of five with small-ish children. That is an absurd amount of living space for a relatively compact trailer.

What further sets the TL apart, however, is the long list of luxuries. Adjacent to the bed is a Dickenson heater with an integrated ignition, making this a true winter-ready rig. More surprising is the legit indoor bathroom with a sink and shower with on-demand hot water, plus a portable cassette toilet. Additional amenities include power outlets (USB, AC, and DC) throughout the rig, a slide-out galley kitchen with a sink, an electric fridge, a dual-burner stove, and tinted windows for maximum privacy and temperature regulation. A beefy solar setup connected to a 2,000-watt inverter keeps all your favorite tech gadgets and the TL’s appliances humming no matter how far from civilization you’re planning to venture.

Of course, no “overland trailer” would be complete without serious off-road-ready gear. The TL boasts 33-inch BFG rubber, a Timbren 5200HD independent suspension, and even a pair of full-sized spares. Rock sliders and a 21.5-inch ground clearance mean it’s ready to take you just about anywhere. Exterior Molle panels, a modular roof rack, and Rotopax containers are all standard.

Mammoth Overland announced that it’s now accepting reservations for the TL Genesis Edition with an all-in price of $72,000. It ain’t cheap, but given how absurdly overbuilt and full-featured it is, it’s honestly not as expensive as we expected. Once the first ten models roll out, Mammoth will be offering a more toned-down version of the TL, presumably with a more toned-down price tag to match. Either way, a $1,000 refundable deposit is all it takes to get your personal build started. Production is expected to begin around the end of this year, and we assume the first deliveries should take place sometime in Q1/Q2 of 2025. If that seems like a long wait, look on the bright side: You have plenty of time to plan your first National Park campground stays.

Escapod drops Topo2 MTB: The first-ever travel trailer built for mountain bikers
A compact, lightweight, overlanding-ready rig with the tools to take your mountain biking game anywhere

Teardrop travel trailers often serve as "towable hardsided tents" designed to tote along only the absolute essentials. Many offer gear-hauling capabilities via rooftop racks, hitch baskets, and the like, too, but none (as far as we know) are purpose-built for mountain bikers — until now. Introducing the all-new Escapod TOPO2 MTB.

This latest entry in Escapod's catalog is a first-of-its-kind travel trailer that packs all of the Utah maker's best features into a single camper, then adds a boatload more just for mountain bikers. It starts with Escapod's high-performance, single-piece molded fiberglass body mated to a high-clearance suspension system with 23 inches of ground clearance — both of which are built for serious overlanding and off-road exploration. Buyers get a long list of standard features, including a 21-gallon water system, a lithium-ion battery bank, an outdoor shower, a full galley with a stove, lots of storage, and a portable fridge or cooler — the list goes on.

Runaway Campers’ Venturist is a rugged “squaredrop” towable for minimalists
With more than 20 inches of ground clearance, this hardcore teardrop trailer has serious off-roading potential

I'm of the school of thought that "simpler is almost always better," especially when it comes to camping. Whether it's backpacking, RV camping, or overlanding, less is often more. It's clear that Runaway Campers agrees. Case in point: It's perfectly minimalist Venturist "squaredrop" travel trailer series.

Each of the three models in the Venturist series (or "V-Series") comes standard with everything avid overlanders need and nothing they don't. That means a steel frame construction, Timbren axle-less independent suspension, electric brakes, custom fenders, and 17-inch wheels on 33-inch BFG all-terrain tires. The setup provides more than 20 inches of ground clearance. Coupled with a pint-sized footprint, this travel trailer is purpose-built to be easy to tow and maneuver along even the tightest and gnarliest of backcountry trails.
